New permission to work arrangement for student visa holders
From 26 April 2008, all student visas will be granted with work rights attached. This will remove the need
for the majority of international students to make a separate application for a student visa with permission
to work in Australia.
While student visa holders will have work rights automatically included in their visa grant, the work conditions
themselves will not change. Students are still not allowed to work until they have started their courses. They
can work up to 20 hours a week while their course is in session. Their dependents will also remain subject
to a 20 hours per week work limitation. Family members of students who have commenced a Masters or Doctorate
course may work unlimited hours.
To accommodate the new arrangements, the Student Visa Application Charge will be AUD$450 from 26 April 2008.
This represents a saving of $40 for the majority of student visa holders who were previously required to pay
$430 on initial application and a further $60 in Australia for permission to work. However, people granted
student visas before 26 April can still apply separately for permission to work.
The visa information is held electronically and can be assessed at any time using the Visa Entitlement
Verification (VEVO) system. Students do not need a visa label to show employers their work entitlement
because employers can also check details about their work entitlement on VEVO.
To find out more about the new arrangement, visit :
